and tried it on a system. It does this on the first update, and it shouldn't, I think. They could have just dispensed with it, or, worst case, given the user a text that just says "press the replace button and your install will be fine", something. But they get nothing, no info, and a lot of snark from people who use that to defend against not know the answers. lol - like I haven't seen that a bunch of time over the years.
I thought maybe it was unique to xfce, but I installed Cinnamon, same thing. Sigh.
I like 15, and I was really looking forward to this one, and once past it the OS is fine. I just think they should do better. Frankly, most users live in their browsers and email anyway, so when I put them on linux the majority really don't care, as long as they can run it without having to go to forums and look stuff up, and they shouldn't have to. Which, until this, was pretty much the case. Linux is much more stable and safe, with the capability to do a lot more if they want, and it certainly makes their hardware a much longer-lasting proposition.
But stuff like this gets in the way. Then again, there's always Ubuntu, with xfce on it
